Imagine that you have an important exam or presentation ahead of you. What would you likely think first?

This is a challenge that I will prepare for as best as I can. If it goes wrong, nothing terrible will happen, there is always another way. I feel the pressure, but I know I can handle it in my own way. I am afraid I won't be good enough, but I will try to ignore it. I prefer not to think about it right now, I will deal with it later.

What is your relationship with rest and relaxation?

Select an answer:

Relaxation activities are as important to me as my responsibilities. I relax when the situation allows it, but I often feel guilty. I rarely realize that I need a break until I am exhausted. I plan my rest in advance to have a sense of control. I prefer to take a break spontaneously when I feel like it.

If you had to represent your stress as an object or situation, what would it be?

A storm that comes quickly but eventually passes. A heavy backpack that I carry on my shoulders. A maze in which I must find the right way out. A race in which I must maintain the pace. A frozen lake where I am afraid the ice might break.

I act quickly and intuitively, I don't have time to hesitate. I try to be rational, but sometimes stress affects me. I am checking several options to be sure. I take longer to decide because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake. I tend to procrastinate making decisions if possible.

What do you think about the statement: "Stress is useful because it motivates us"?

Select an answer:
